3. Work through your non perishables.

Pasta, rice, nuts, canned foods when combined with fresh vegetables and herbs make for wholesome, nutritious and budget friendly meals. It is important to work through your pantry, fridge and freezer to make sure you use up what you have rather than craving in and ordering take-out.

4. Never go grocery shopping without a list.

Shopping with a list kills two birds with one stone. It makes you plan your meals for the week and makes you not spend on pre-packaged snacks that are not healthy for you.

5. Never go grocery shopping on an empty stomach.

This goes without saying but shopping on an empty stomach will make you grab processed, convenience foods that will only give you a sugar rush and make you crash later. Always grocery shop after you have eaten and have your list with you so you only stick to the essentials.
